Reduced parasite burden in feral honeybee colonies

2022-07-19

Abstract excerpt

Bee parasites are the main threat to apiculture, and since many parasite taxa can spill over from honeybees ( Apis mellifera ) to other bee species, honeybee disease management is important for pollinator conservation in general. It is unknown whether honeybees that escaped from apiaries (i.e., feral colonies) benefit from natural parasite-reducing mechanisms like swarming or suffer from high parasite pressure du...
